Picco Bar & Pizzeria in Darlington

Authentic Italian stone fired pizza, no dominoes rubbish here

Had a great take out pizza from Picco. Nice thin base . Best delivery pizza so far .

A delightful little place with friendly staff and good food at a very reasonable price. It’s become a favourite to visit frequently.

Cold food for the 1st time from this place

Food was lovely and arrived on time, pizza not at all greasy, will be using again

Really lovely pizza, and very cosy atmosphere. Service was also excellent. Nothing to fault - really good!

Very good, n I've even been back again

Food was absolutely delicious and worth the wait

Wonderful little restaurant, fantastic pizzas lovely people and reasonably priced too. Cannot fault it.

Fantastic authentic food, great service Cannot recommend it any higher !

Food was really nice, however service was not good. I had booked this for an anniversary meal, requested a bottle of sparkling rose wine on the table, but when we entered I gave details and was just told to choose any table for 2. There were only 2 other tables occupied at the time, an elderly gentleman came in while we were there and a couple of take out customers. We had to ask for a dessert menu as we seemed to be ignored more and more, the delivery guys from whatever app they use got more conversation from the staff than we did. Very disappointed in the service despite the food being great.

Beautiful food great little restaurant will definitely be back

Absolutely fantastic place, Amazing starters. pizza's, Pasta's. Excellent service. Staff are so friendly. Xx

Love this place, looking forward to going back next Friday with friends for a meal! 🍕

So rude with delivery drivers and make late

Fabulous pizza. Terrific starters. Peroni on draught. So good we went back the next night. Just a stunning hand made pizza with great service. Very well priced too.

Good quality and great service as always

Pizza in Darlington. Well done. Just dined with 3 colleagues. Nice pizza and attentive service.

Several visits and never a problem lovely simple menu great food cooked fresh and great service charming intimate place

Really enjoyed my meal here last night! Excellent

Prompt and friendly service and the food was really tasty and very reasonably priced.

Never had bad food from here, pizzas are one of best in town, chips are very good as well. 10/10

Piccos is a firm family favourite. Love everything about it. During the Covid era myself and my daughter went to pick up some pizzas we had ordered. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited and the chef/owner was so lovely and chatty, telling us the story of why margarita pizzas have their name. When ordered for delivery they are always hot and fresh, but eating in the restaurant is even better. Always a lovely vibe - small and friendly restaurant with friendly staff. Extra little touches like a lemon san pellegrino “shot” for the kids alongside the limoncello ones for the adults. Today I had pasta (lasagne) instead of pizza and it was really delicious.

Lovely pizza as usual, went extra mile by adding mushrooms for me 👏 maybe add the mushrooms to extras list

Excellent food and service. Genuine Italian pizza. Beaut! Highly recommended!

Good all round place. Lovely pizza. On Wednesday you can have two pizzas and a bottle of wine for £25.

Pizza and chips with Parmesan and rosemary were delicious and still very hot when delivered

Always a great meal here. Food is fantastic and great value. The team are really friendly and helpful.

Still great after all this time

Rude staff and owner will never return .

Best pizza in the town hands down

Authentic Italian pizza, looks like pizza, tastes like pizza and much better quality ingredients than any other pizza I have had in Darlington.

The owner had very bad attitude towards customers, not a good place and never come back.

I went to celebrate my wife birthday and i have one year old son apparently waiters said my son making too much noise despite kid being kid had to leave after staff and owner being soo disrespectful to us .

Great food and delivered on time.

I am very happy this restaurant very nice food thanks

the driver late with the order and my food is cold because he hadn't hot bag.

Fab food great staff. Our go to place to eat in darlington.

the food was still hot, it was late, but worth waiting for

Cosy pizzeria with friendly service and good pizzas. Only 11 tables. Had four pizzas a large wine, a pint of beer and side for £58 plus service.

First time ordering from here and I must say the pizza was piping hot and really tasty. The chips where thick and chunky and also piping hot. The only let down was the onion rings which were not cooked long enough. I will defo be ordering from here again. Brilliant service and excellent food

Absolutely fantastic!! Food is amazing, cooked fresh infront of you. Staff are friendly and attentive. Will highly recommend, can't wait to go back soon

Visited solo, while on a business trip. Very warm and welcoming restaurant with delicious.authentic pizza, great service and really well priced. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal!

Lovely pizza fast very friendly delivery

Delicious pizza, I recommend it to everyone

Very Polite Driver , Friendliest i’ve had , food fantastic as always

Went to Picco to have a catch up with my girls and I can’t express enough how amazing our experience at Picco was! From the vibes, the food, drinks to the staff. Food was gorgeous & both drinks and food were super affordable!! Can’t thank Alex and Shahla enough for their service. All the staff were fabulous😘

The food was spectacular, tasted like the pizza I had in Italy! Service was amazing aswell, the girls really took care of us for the evening. Overall had a lovely warm ambience and I would go back!

The best place for food and service! Had the best night with the girls. Everyone was amazing and very friendly! Definitely will be back

Lovely food, great atmosphere and fabulous staff will definitely be visiting again.

Pizza dough very delicious. Although, I think instead of goat cheese, they used Camembert? so pizza didn’t taste as good as it was last time.

The BEST Pizza in Darlington. We've been going for years and always receive a warm welcome from Alex the owner. Special mention to Grace from his Front of House Team, who is very professional, attentive and friendly - excellent customer service!

The best calzone I have ever had in my life... No exaggeration

Beautiful pizza Napoletana and the restaurant staff are nice and kind.

Lovely pizza, great delivery courier, very friendly and polite

Pizza was missing half of the toppings!

The food was really authentic and delicious. Very friendly staff and really great value for money. I would highly recommend.

Amazing food speedy delivery 😋

the best italian pizza in Darlington

Really lovely meal. Pizza was so good, the kids loved the chicken nuggets, and the Parmesan and Rosemary chips were amazing!

Five-star food. Best pizza in Darlington. Even better when you eat in the restaurant and it's fresh from the oven and served with a smile.

Pizzas and chips are outstanding and the customer service is fabulous, a real gem. I wouldn't usually comment on chips but they are known to be the best in town, they really are too.

Best pizza in Darlington good service and good vibe. I don't have to say anymore, just go an try . It would be the best choice that you have in your life.

Just ordered a late night pizza. Not disappointed at all! It came fast and hot! Top notch!

I had calamari which I nearly broke my tooth on. Worst I’ve even had. It was so overcooked I couldn’t put my fork in to cut it… it just shattered into 2. Absolutely no taste or texture to the actual calamari. Wasn’t served with lemon… I had to ask for some. Not offered so we asked for salt and pepper - none came so we went and got it ourselves. Then I had chicken and ham penne pasta which was nice but no offer of Parmesan or black pepper etc which I think is poor. Cleared 5 out of the 6 plates but forgot about the last one and left it there for another half hour. Not great. I am unlikely to return.

Oh my word... How have we not been here before.... An absolute gem... Top service, friendly and attentive.. Pizzas are amazing.. Chips to die for... Darlo's finest! When can we book again!!!

We have walked past this place so many times and decided to give it a go. Just WOW, we absolutely loved the food and service. A hidden gem, that more people should know about. I was with my family of 7 and unanimously we all said we need to go back. Great value for money.

Accidentally discovered this place with two hungry toddlers on a Saturday evening. What a find! Excellent fresh authentic pizza made in front of you. Kids can roll out their own dough (nice touch). Nice staff and atmosphere. Reasonable prices compared to the outrageous causal dining chain restaurants. 100% will visit again.

Always lovely so long as you get the right table

Our favourite pizza place in town, food is always beautiful and the service is great too, thoroughly enjoy our date nights here :)

If I could give the service no stars I would!

Absolutely amazing place, staff are so friendly and helpful. Food is brilliant. Honestly, best pizza place we have ever been in. Puddings are also amazing xxx

Excellent little restaurant- fine freshly prepared pizza (with big choice of extras - esp’ anchovies !) fine and friendly waitress service. Will visit again for sure next time we are driving past Darlington on the way to Scotland Thank you Roger & Anne

My friend and I visited after being told it was nice. It was diabolical. Went in and sat down tried to order drinks but everything we asked for they didn't have. We got our starter which was nothing to right home about. We didn't stay for our main meal. They were more interested in the Uber Eats side of the business. Three or 4 deliveries were also being made up whilst we were eating. People coming and going all the time. We went somewhere else and the service was faultless

So bad I can not beleve it worse food I have hard for a very long time

This place is run by the best pizza chef about.! We visit once a week and the fresh pizzas made in front of your eyes are the best ever! Plus for children they can make their own pizza from scratch for only £4.95. My daughter loves rolling out the dough and choosing her own toppings. Great selection of sides and drinks on tap! Also price is very cheap! Well done 🤌🏻

Wonderful rustic pizza , best service ,as a hospitality lecturer, I endorse this establishment to a high level . So naturally effective. Thank you for a wonderful experience

We came for our anniversary meal, Food was amazing and service was quick and very friendly, we’ll definitely be back!

I have been to Italy in restaurant known as best pizzeria in Naples- not even close as good as the one in Picco in Darlongton. Tried loads of pizzas in countries and UK and need to admit best pizza so far I had in my life. My family and friends think alike Recommend to all!

Excellent pizza's, we were a party of 9,and all the meals arrived almost together. Excellent,attentive waiting staff remembered who had ordered what. Great with the children. A special evening out,and the pizza's really are excellent.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Superb pizza. Best in town. Parmesan chips are sublime. So much better than chain restaurant. Will go again next month for next family birthday. Lovely food and atmosphere at very fair price

Fantastic for both dine in and take away.

Decent food, staff were lovely and food was decently priced

Very warm welcome. Bent over backwards to look after us. Food is straightforward, plentiful, and tasty. Very enjoyable.

Excellent restaurant with fast service and a sublime menu choice. The wine was good quality and humorous.

Beautiful food , beautiful place , beautiful people , BEST PIZZA IN DARLINGTON

I ordered pizza and sides enough for six adults and three children this evening and it was ready for collection at the stated time (just under an hour). Fantastic pizza, if we can't get from here then usually we don't bother. Also the chips (and...

Great service, the best food as always, pleasure to be back :)

I travelled from Doncaster tonight to visit family. I decided to take my wife for a Italian, we came across picco, and I must say this place is absolutely amazing, very friendly staff beutifull relaxed atmosphere And exellent food we had a 3 course and all 3 where absolutely delicious, I wish we had this qaulity establishment in Doncaster. I will definitely visit again on my next family visit.

The best pizzeria in the town. Such a friendly bunch of people and the pizza is cooked to perfection. Looking forward to going back next week!

Booked last minute but no problem at all. Food was really really good, fresh, tasty, perfectly cooked. Great value for money and great service.

Food is to die for, atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are top notch. Incredible service & new favourite Italian it really was authentic tasty food I can't wait to visit again 😋

Went for dinner last week. It was SO cold you could see your breath in the restaurant. Had to wear thick coat. Knife almost stuck to your hand. Food got cold within minutes of arrival. Dude, if your heating breaks or you chose not to turn it on you should really tell people - because it was actually really unpleasant waiting for our food. Almost like sitting outside. Not exaggerating - it was Really unpleasant. All it takes is some communication with your customers. Like hey sorry, heat is off it is going to be cold if you want to eat here. That would be fine as long as you know when you sit down and order….

Great pizza's, great service and a great ambience. Highly recommended.

Delicious menu, drinks, food and dessert.

The food was beautiful however the service was disappointing, the staff looked miserable and didn’t make us feel welcomed from the moment we came in. The woman was particularly rude and unprofessional in the way she went about taking out orders and speaking to us.

A cozy atmosphere. Good, attentive service. Great pizza. Good prices. What more do you want? We were very pleased and next time we're in Darlington, we'll be back!

Had dinner with family and friends with a few drinks. All very good value for money and tasty. Not a massive menu but I don't mind that, there was still something for everyone. Staff were all very friendly and efficient and they even let us take in a birthday earlier for a surprise for my wife. Would recommend and will go back.

Great pizza and pasta and perfect for a pre theatre performance. The menu isn't huge but it was more than enough for a great night and the desserts were to die for.

Had an amazing meal. The food was fresh and delicious, as were the cocktails. Everything was fairly priced and the staff were incredibly kind. If you get desert, get the lemon cake!
